Despite all that other stuff, the fact that they’re in the US and therefore calling for an ambulance would cost in the thousands probably had more bearing on the situation than them being terrible parents. I wonder how many small children have died due to preventable disease or injury with good, yet financially poor, parents who hesitated to call an ambulance.
I think it’s more likely they weren’t calling an ambulance because they didnt want to either have their drugs confiscated or be go to prison for possession

Both can be true. This is also why sane places have laws preventing paramedics from reporting drug use to the police.
I think its more this as well. Also, Medicaid, which they likely had, and their children definitely had, would cover ambulance.
Parents who don’t call an ambulance for their child who needs an ambulance aren’t good people.
Countries who make their citizens second guess calling an ambulance with the threat of crippling debt aren’t good countries.
